5.1 Operating Systems
Although ASUS motherboards passed testing on several operating systems, the op-
erating system shown in these sections will be that of Microsoft’s Windows 98. You
should always use the latest operating system and updates when using new hard-
ware to ensure full compliancy. For Windows 95, you must use OSR 2.0 or later. For
Windows NT 4.0, you must use Service Pack 3.0 or later.
5.2 Starting Windows For the First Time
When you start Windows 98 for the first time after installing your motherboard,
Windows will detect all plug-and-play devices. You can either follow the Add New
Hardware Wizard to install the device drivers or click Cancel. When prompted to
restart, select No and then follow the normal setup procedures later in this section.
IMPORTANT: Selecting No for the initial restart prompt is a necessary step
because Windows may load an older display driver that is incompatible with the
integrated VGA. Always use the driver available on the ASUS Support CD or an
applicable driver update from your ASUS vendor or the ASUS web site.
NOTE: Because there are various motherboard settings, options, and expansion
cards, the following can only be used as a general reference and not an exact reflec-
tion of your system.
